Have you contacted your council tax office?
Contact your local council’s council tax office to let them know the date you move out of your current property and when you move into your new one so they bill you correctly.
Have you redirected your post to your new address?
You can download the form from the Post Office website. It can take up to 10 days to set up and there is a charge.
Have you told the utility providers (gas, water, electricity)?
You need to tell them at least 48 hours in advance that you are moving. Pass on the details of your current supplier to the people moving in. On your moving day you will need to read the meters in both properties so the correct bills can be issued. When you move in to your new home contact who you want to supply your utilities so they can register you as a new customer and start billing you from that day.
Have you updated your driving licence and vehicle registration documentation?
Have you updated your details on the Electoral Register?
The register is updated every month and you need to be included on it to vote. A form is available from the Electoral Commission's 'About my vote' website. You can complete the form online, or download and send it to the Electoral Registration Office which is based at your local council.
Have you told the TV licensing?
Your television licence will need to be transferred to your new address. You can do this online or by calling 0870 241 6468.
